...what other bars would be appropriate for a chrome TA...?
I did think CW but dont want to use them...!
-
are you doing a freestyle or race build.
GT bar or cw freestyle bars could look good.
-
Now thats the problem...im not sure...! What did Patterson use...?!
-
good question this :daumenhoch: firstly as Dordy says ... is a ta a race or freestyle frame. ? :D. if freestyle what about cw or gt performer bars ? if race skyway race bars if u can find sum or the repop ones? gt pro bars?
-
What's up with C dubs?
Classic bar for a TA
-
as has been said before
i think gt pro bars,with a gt seatpost looks mint rich :daumenhoch:
-
Monkey bars would look good, based on cw's so similar shape and proportions and it'll bring something different to the bike. A fooker to find.
-
Yes, i would like Skyway race bars but suppose i should give up on that idea unless they are reissues...but who sells them?
Am i right in thinking Patterson used CW's...?
Ill just use cow horns...!

i think gt pro bars,with a gt seatpost looks mint rich :daumenhoch:

Ha! I know, i know, you're right Mark i will...!!
Well all i need are the grips then thats pretty much it...apart from a chain & lever & cable!! Although the last two are replacements...!
Ok, so you got your own way re: grips...!!
-
Any nice race bars would do,powerlite,gt,hutch,cw....
Try finding CW expert bars for the TA,not quite as lofty,look a bit nicer i think :daumenhoch:
-
Yeah I was thinking of starting with those... Anyone got any...?!!
Sorry, dont mean to sneak in a wanted post...!
This is all very helpful guys, thank you.
-
I had chrome monkey bars on my chrome Skyway TA looked good :)
-
I know its a bit weird but i really like Mongoose procless bars on a ta :-[ just looks retro usa to me. Not sure why tho :LolLolLolLol:
-
Actually you've just reminded me- i think i have some proclass bars...
Might try them after the Heart is finished...
Cheers mate...!
-

He don't like Renthals buddy ::)
JOKE!!
He's been after some for a long time :daumenhoch:

In 83 it looks like he was using cw's.
earliest add i could find for ez's and race bars was the 8403 edition of freestylin'. They both have the same width and rake, the only difference been that ez's have 2 bars and race bars have one.
According to woody skyway race bars weren't imported into the UK until 86 so although the US skyway team were using them the UK skyway team were sporting GT PRO bars or galindo's.
